No one needs the mq4 files (they are needed only if we want to edit the program). All mq4 files are converted to ex4 files and only the ex4 files are used. Since all my files are already ex4 files, they are simpler to attach than mq4 files! I hope you did not try to edit it using MetaEditor (somebody tried that also; MetaEditor must not be used). May be there is some problem in your MT4 installation. As with the earlier post, may be a re-installation will solve the problem. These are the only two problems I have heard from users. If these are not the reason, I do not have any other idea. When you resolve the problem, please leave a note of how it was solved so that others can solve similar problem.

Chandra,

First let me say good work on all your indicators. Can you post the MQ4 files as well??? I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to learn the MetaLanguage as well by following along with your great work...

Hi Vagyok,

Thanks for the complement. The internet is full of MQ4 files. One can easily get hundreds of MQ4 files and learn. Few more MQ4 files are not going to do much. Also, http:\\www.metaquotes.net has a lot of useful information. Even here, there is separate forum to find help with writing programs.

Yeah, but the other MQ4 files don't do what this one does... LOL So.. is that a NO... or can you make it available upon request? I promise it's only for private use and will not be redistributed or anything like that I'd just like to look on the inside and see how it's doing what it's doing... that's all

Hi Vagyok,

My MQ4 files will not be released. Sorry. But you can get some other MQ4 files with similar features, which should give some idea about how to make these things. Follow the link below (it is also from Imran's thread):

I am highly impressed by this new post of yours and guess what people have been recommending it already but I am a bit finding it difficult to use because I dont have the 'lag' on my metal 4.

Is it that I am going to download it and then attach it to my metal 4 platform or what?

Please I wish a quick response to this.

Secondly, the SP is said to be at 20. I think that is too minimal because GBP/JPY is too volatile and there is tendency of losing like 20 pips first before reversion. What do you think on this?

Hi,

No platform comes with Lag indicator. So, you have to download it. Use the " laguerre.ex4" from the first post near LISPA1 (in my other thread). My other chandra-SAS need different programs as mentioned in the first post.

SL is said to be 20+spread for 5M timeframe. If you use larger TF, you have to increase. That has been discussed a lot in main Imran thread. Read a lot there and practice.

Hope you can make it work.

Hi,

The .mq4 files are absolutely not needed. They are needed only to generate the .ex4 files. So, if the .ex4 file does not work, the .mq4 file will not help. 100% guaranteed. So, try to find why it is not working. Check error messages. Check whether the files are in the right place. Other custom indicators are working....

All are not working? You must be kidding! Are you using something else, instead of MT4 (I am just kidding!).

I never had an .ex4 indicator that did not work (though I had many .mq4 files fail). So, I am unable to help. If you fix the problem, please share the reason.

well i guess let me explain exactly what happens.....i have many many custom indicators in the folder....if i look in windows explorer for example, i see both mq4 and the executables for the indicators......when i saved the ex4 files of yours in the folder, they do not show up in my custom indicators that i can use in metatrader.....if i go to metaeditor...i have to go to open and then all files and find it....and it shows up at "ex4" in the text, and nothing else....now based on what you have said, the mq4 is compiled into a ex4...so the mq4 contains the code.....what i am saying is that your indicators that i try to save will simply not attach to charts....i have reinstalled metatrader 3 seperate times now.....

hopefully this maybe sheds light on what i'm talking about...i have followed the directions step by step.....maybe i am not saving it correctly or something?

The LISPA2 Indicator Settings:
-----------------------------
It has two independant signal calculations. Unlike LISPA1, this draws the arrows and lines as individual objects. So, you cannot select the indicator by right clicking on arrows or lines. You have to go to Indicator List (under Charts menu at top) and select the LISPA2 to change any settings (or to delete the Indicator).

Always my program signals are generated only after candle close and placed at the next new candle.

It will not generate same signal again (if a BUY1 is there and it failed first time, it will not be generated again, unless a SELL1 comes in between). This will make us miss some moves. This was a cost, but we can add filters freely (in LISPA1 also some signals were missed, but not as much in LISPA2. But in LISPA1 we could not add much filters, if we add all these filters there will not be much left!).
-----------------------------------------------------------
Default settings are fine and actually no change is needed. However,

MaximumBars = 1000; increase it for visual backtesting.

ArrowDistance = 10; 10-pips from prior bar range; increase it if too much overlap is seen or decrease it if the arrow signals are too far. If too far, the signals will go out of screen also.

VerticalLineWidth=1; the line width can be changed. Can be turned off by using 0 (zero).

ShowFirstEntries=true; Shows entry signals based on:
// Long1: Lag1 >0.15 & moving up, Lag2 at bottom OR moving up. ---BLUE
// Sell1: Lag1 <0.85 & moving dn, Lag2 at top OR moving dn. ----RED

ShowSecondEntries=true; Shows entry signals based on:
// Long2: Lag2 above 0.15 & moving up. ----NAVY
// Sell2: Lag2 below 0.85 & moving dn. ----MAROON

UseMACD_StochFilters=true; Uses MACD(12,26,9)-crossover and Stoch(14,3,3) crossing 50-level.

EMAFilters=2; When any number above 1 is given, the slopes of EMA25, EMA60 are used. When 1 is given, only slope of EMA25 will be used. Any number below 1 will turn off the filter.

SendEmail = false; When a signal arrow comes in the chart, an email will be sent (see the details below about how to setup Email sending). Very useful for longer timeframe users (even 15M or above 60M, though generally we use 1M or 5M or 15M charts)

PopUpAlert = false; it will bring a popup-alert window when a new signal comes.

TextSignal = true; This will show last signal direction as text, with new bar start time.

TextPosition = 700; in pixels, you can move the text horizontally to a clear area, if needed.

SoundAlert = true; The selected sound file will be played when a new signal comes. This way we can know there is a signal in one of the charts and no need to stare the charts all the time and do something else while waiting. Great for monitoring multiple charts without tiring the eyes.

SoundFile = alert; By default, uses the "alert.wav" file placed in the MT4/sounds folder (this file comes with MT4). You can place any .wav file in this folder and change the name here and use it. Use just the first part of the name (the file extension must be .wav and is assumed to be .wav).

SoundTime1 = 800; SoundTime2 = 1600; These two are the time range when the Sound will work (we don't want to hear it while sleeping!). It is in local time, NOT broker time. If you want to keep it on all the time, please use zero and 2500.

=========================================
Other Filters I tried and Failed!!!

I tried to include 200-EMA and many signals were removed (and so no EMA200). I also tried to add Daily Pivot. It removed more than half of the signals, both good and bad (and so no Pivot filter also; after spending one hour, I gave up). Once I even checked QQE(5), but it did not have much effect after the MACD was added. It helped only in a few situations (so, no QQE also; I thought it was not worth the hassle of having an extra external indicator without much benefit).

I cannot think of any other filters to be added (it is done). Trendlines, S/R levels, Divergence, Candle and other price patterns have to be checked manually (I cannot automate these!).

Chandra, thanks for the lispa2, I have never used it but have attached to the charts with the Imrans strategy. my questions are the vertical lines seem to be a few bars away from the actual indicator crosses and also at some places you have 2 vertical lines close together, are these 1st and 2nd entry opportunities ?

Sorry Chandra, didn't read your above post with the explanation, please don't reply to this post

Hi Chandra,

I install the LISPA 2 on Imran charts and got "strange" results.

Basic setting no change at all
on 5' chart ( the one I'm using) and a quick check on 15', 30', 1h

The bars and arrows seems to be out of sequence with the Lags, sometime giving an entry (long or short) when the Lag 1 is already on "the other side"
and I can't see any signal respecting the MACD or Stoch cross.

I've tryed the Macd and Stoch cross alone and got no signals at all (whatever the time frame was) and with first entry alone the signals are also too far away to be reliable.

So what happens here, a corruption of the file, a bug, or I don't know. Please look at the charts I join and tell me what to do.

I tryed LISPA 2 with Lag ACS and Lag 2 ACS with the same results.

I've seen some more people have already downloaded LISPA 2 I'm I the only one with these results?

Thanks for your answer.

Sorry I thought the title of the chart was showing up.

The 4 first are respectively 5', 15', 30', and one hour basic setting of LISPA and the last one a 5' with first entry only selected.
I obviously don't post a chart with Macd-stock only as there is no signal at all.

Hi AL,

The signals are correct. They are set to appear after the close of the candle and they are placed on the next bar. They are more accurate than we can do visually. The rules for the signals are given in the Settings post #96 here. We are not using specific crossover points (0.15 or 0.85). That helped add various filters. If we use specific crossover points, the filters mostly don't match at that bar and we don't get much signals. That will happen even if we do manually. But when all conditions are met, the signals are given accurately. I have tested over several weeks and Imran has tested more than two weeks (through various revisions). So, trust the signals.

This program can use old Laguerre or Lag-ACS1 or Lag2-ACS. But best used with Lag-ACS1. Old Lag does not have the smoothing MA. Lag2-ACS does double the calculations and so wastes some computer power!

You cannot use MACD-Stoch cross alone (or the EMA filter). Because they are used only as Filters. Only if there is a signal, we can filter. It will be complicated to make the filter work by itself. Because already there two separate calculations to generate signals and adding third signal will make it quite complicated. So, you cannot use any of the filters (or both filters) alone. There must be at least one signal generating method set to "true".

I hope this explains all the questions. If I missed any, let me know.
